Re: send to many

Zeta For your particular problem, the solution offered by Jill (redirecting mailing list address) is the only way to go, but for time out problems in general, e.g. huge database operations, writing thousands of webpages to a directory etc etc the general approach of having a script repeatedly running is entirely doable. As the scriipt finishes, it "redirects" to itself, attacking the next chunk of work. Each time it does this php "restarts the stopwatch" so to speak and so it never times out. You must keep track of variables and various place holders in a temp file though because sessions won`t work, because each instance of the script started with a re-direct starts its own fresh session. This process can theoretically continue forever, or at least until you get fired for denying everyone else a chance to fetch a page or for thrashing the server to death. This approach flies in the face of the intent of time limited scripts of course, so such jobs should only be able to! be called via some logged in supervisor type who knows whats happening. ======= At 2003-04-15, 16:50:00 you wrote: ======= >i just want to ask that i am doing a news letters program. as you know that >i need to send a lot of email from my admin site(maybe more than 1000). so >what shall i do, because if send to many emai, that is posible that some >will fail and delay my execution(maybe server execution time pass), that >mean i only sent part of the email and others remain unsent.what method i >can use to prevent this thing happen??thank alot for your profession. > > >
